(10 minutes, easy set-up)
Students will discuss how they can daily experience the presence of God.
(10 minutes, easy set-up)
Provide a dry erase board and markers.
Explain to students that each day provides us with an opportunity to experience the presence of God.
Encourage students to turn to another student and to discuss the ways they can experience the presence of God on a daily basis. (Examples: through reading the Bible; through an encouraging word from a friend; by seeing a prayer answered; by sharing their life with God in prayer.) After three minutes to discuss, call on student responses and compile a list on the board.
Encourage students to share with their partners some of the methods they would like to try this week. Then, encourage students to share text or Instagram accounts so they can encourage each other during the week. Challenge students to intentionally search for God’s presence in their lives by using these methods.
Conclude by leading students to pray in their groups, thanking God for showing His love for us through His knowledge, power, and presence in our lives.
